Traditionally Wealth management technology for wealth managers was more focused on Advisor technology. As the business model evolved from Product Centric to Relationship Centric and the client expectations changed, the wealth management firms started to focus on investor technology to create a competitive differentiator. As per numerous studies, the wealth management client experience lags behind other industries and its financial services peers such as Cards, Banks, and even Insurance.

Clients focus a lot on the digital experience provided by the firms to decide on their future financial advisors. As a result, the client portal is a critical investment that firms have been making in this space. Per a study, 93% of the studied wealth managers have either implemented a client portal or are in the process of implementing it. Client portals can become a hub where clients access all their financial information. They are a valuable tool to retain clients and grow your practice by increasing assets with existing clients and attracting new prospects. When advisors and wealth manager firms find it difficult to differentiate themselves from other competitors, the client portal can become that key differentiator and a source of competitive advantage.

In this whitepaper, Gaurav Sehgal, Vice President, Financial Services, Incedo talks about the critical importance of client portals and digital experience for Wealth Management organizations.

Over the last few years, the independent broker dealer industry in USA has seen a lot of churn. Many large broker dealers grew their book of business and registered representative base inorganically, by taking over their smaller counterparts. What came as legacy was a host of disparate systems and operational teams, all doing similar tasks.

The broker dealers were still grappling with the problem of integrating the systems of their new found entities, when the Department of Labor (DOL) threw them another curveball in April 2015. This curveball has since come to be called as DOL fiduciary rule and threatens to alter the entire dynamics of the industry, which has operated on a variable compensation model for decades. It will force the industry, which has long regarded its role as transaction facilitators, to wear the hat of the advisors and discharge all the onerous responsibilities that come with it. But what exactly is the DOL fiduciary rule and what will be its impact? This white paper is an attempt to demystify the ruling and aims to propose what broker dealers should be doing to prepare for this seismic event.

When the GDPR became a law in Europe, American companies not doing business in Europe heaved a sigh of relief that they did not have to comply with the stringent requirements laid out in the law. However, as Arab spring showed us, movements have a way of spreading beyond borders. Privacy spring has now come to USA in the form of CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). CCPA provides protection to all California residents and lays down markers on how the consumer data can be used by various businesses. THE ACT PROVIDES THE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS THE RIGHT to know what kind of data is being collected for them and for what purpose it is getting used.

In this whitepaper, Mr. Gaurav Sehgal (VP, Financial Services, Incedo) explains the impact of CCPA on wealth management industry and more narrowly on the impact of legislation on wealth managers. Learn about how wealth manager should approach the legislation and be prepared for its implementation.
